Fulton DA seeking help from community

The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is going the extra mile to gather information for the investigation of three recent police shootings. District Attorney Paul Howard is seeking the help of civilians for the complete truth.

“My experience is that our community seems to make a greater belief when a citizen - who’s not involved as one of the parties - will come forth,” stated Howard.

WAOK attended a news conference where DA Howard unveiled the billboards his office has placed around the county in an attempt to solicit witnesses and additional information for the following shootings:

MARCH 13, 2019:

56-year-old Kenneth Gilbert, Sr., 29-year-old Kenneth Gilbert, Jr., and an Atlanta Police Department SWAT Unit engaged in an altercation at the intersection of Moreland Avenue SE and Arkwright Place SE in Atlanta.

Another is located near the intersection of Moreland Avenue and Moreland Drive, a short distance from the shooting scene.
